The 9.8mm Nomad Dynamic Rope by Petzl is a highly versatile rope made for sport climbing, alpine routes or trad cragging. Built with a durable, thick sheath, easy handling and with a 33.71% elongation you get a soft ride when you find yourself unexpectedly coming down.

The Nomad has a well-tuned balance between dynamic elongation and impact force making this a great well rounded rope.

For rappelling use, I'd actually recommend a static line, and perhaps a thicker diameter depending on what you're doing, but it's certainly well within the strength capability of this rope. In terms of static load, 1 kN is about 225 pounds if that helps you translate.
